The significance of anchor text within a linking strategy is paramount. Backlinks play a crucial role in search engine algorithms. It is essential for external sites to employ precise keywords and phrases in their anchor text when executing a linking campaign.
Frequently, linking candidates opt to use the company name as the anchor text. While this approach aids in branding, it fails to convey any information about the company’s products or services. Although leveraging the company name can be beneficial for recognition, it is often unnecessary as companies typically achieve high rankings, often first, for searches related to their brand name.
Consider the hypothetical example of “Acme Plumbing Supplies”:
Typically, links might simply bear the name “Acme”. Although this is acceptable, it lacks any descriptive details about the company’s business or context. By incorporating specific terms like “plumbing” or the phrase “plumbing supplies” (e.g., “Acme Plumbing” or “Acme Plumbing Supplies”), there is a chance to attract additional traffic that might not have otherwise found the company’s website.
